Tomorrow morning, Victor arrives and we go to Uglegorsk to pick up the boys. :) Today I've been organizing all of their clothes and games here in the apartment. I'll make one more shopping trip today. I'd love it if I ran across a place to buy a pot. I have all this pasta and rice and varenike and no way to cook it. Well, I do have a small kettle that I'd brought along, but that wouldn't be nearly big enough. I also need to look up the Russian word for butter, as I keep bringing home cheese by mistake.
Tomorrow, when we get the boys, I think the first stop needs to be McDonald's. :) Then a shoe store. Then the bathtub. I can't wait to see those little guys.
Last night, Anya and Den picked me up and took me to their church. It was much different from my church at home, obviously. It will be great to take the boys there.
These last few days alone have been tremendously therapeutic. I feel rested and ready for the next phase! I really think these next few weeks in Donetsk will be a great transition time for the boys. I hope to make the most of it.
As far as I know, Curt landed back in Tulsa late last night. And as far as I know, Nana drove out from NM and met him at the airport. Cassie and Clay will be glad to see them today, I'm sure!
You are simply amazing, my beautiful sister-in-law! What a wonderful mother you are. How inspirational that you go with the flow so easily and are so brave to be there doing everything on your own. Those boys are blessed to have two such amazing parents! I'm praying for you many times each day. Enjoy every minute!!!!! Give Elijah and Isaac hugs from their Auntie Kayla when you see them next! Hugs to you too. Love you all.

Hi Jocelyn,
ReplyDeleteOK, first up is getting you the translation for butter = масло!Pronounced with an "s" sound (masla)!! Hope you find a big pot to cook in. You will need it when the boys find out that you are making dinner. They will eat like you have never seen!!! Praying for you and all the memories you will make. karol
